With Aquilinis you never know but I agreed with Halbro when they were saying all along that Q would land in a market like Anaheim because he would only face 1 question about his Chicago past from their 12 fans and media
What if Beech gave his blessing to Q bring hired? Does that change anything?

Agreed on the scrutiny in this market though. And the 11 fans and media part.

Maybe a little and I don't mean to be an ageist as Q isn't that much older than I am, but there has to be younger and highly qualified guys on the market that don't have this kind of baggage.

I am not sure...

If I was at my work and I covered up something like this I am pretty sure I would never work in the industry ever again regardless of the individual forgiving me. This is not something that I believe is forgivable.

Victims forgive their attackers all the time. It doesn't change anything about the law or what's right.

Anyone who knew the kid was being abused and looked the other way for personal gain should never be allowed to work in this biz again. And I include any players that knew in that. Bowman, Q, Cheveldayoff - the lot of them.

Anyone who signed the recommendation to help the r*pist to get a job in a high school where he abused a 16 year old should be in jail.

List of people Joel Quenneville "Worked with" to "grow and show remorse" for his handling of the Beach situation.

So I am sure he will be happy to explain, at length, exactly what "worked with" meant and what specifically he learned from each while giving his opinions on what everyone else involved has done. Right?

I thought Jesus played in the era where curve balls and other breakin' stuff was considered trickery and frowned upon.

He had a great catch phrase too. In games where he was a catcher and threw out a runner he (and often the crowd) would say Thou Shall Not Steal.

These assholes know they weren't allowed to vote for a russian.

Ukraine is a corrupt shithole.

Yet a Russian is a finalist for the Hart, Vezina and Selke (dual citizen) Trophy...

watching the games I have seen in entirety I Can honestly say that if the Canucks had actually made the playoffs they would have been beaten so bad that it would have counted as a second sweep the next time they made the playoffs.

A sweep in the bank?
